BERLIN — The city council last week rejected a citizen’s request for a citywide survey on the impact of allowing ATVs to operate on city streets.
A majority of the council said it felt the city had acted cautiously in opening up the streets to ATV traffic and allowed for public input repeatedly during the process. Several councilors said ATVs have had a significant economic impact for the valley.
